👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the Donut Dough

  • In a small bowl, combine warm milk, 1 tbsp of the granulated sugar, and the yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until bubbly and foamy.

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, remaining sugar, and salt.

  • Add the yeast mixture, eggs, and softened butter. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

  • Turn onto a floured surface and knead for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  • Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a clean towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled.

2. Shape and Cook the Donuts

  • Punch down the dough. Roll out to ½‑inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.

  • Cut into rounds using a 3‑inch cutter. Place on a parchment‑lined tray, cover loosely, and let rest for 20 minutes.

  • To fry: Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry donuts 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

  • To bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place donuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake for 12–15 minutes until lightly golden.

  • Cool completely on a wire rack.

3. Make the Cheesecake Filling

  • Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.

  • Add vanilla and heavy cream, beating until light and fluffy.

  • Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.

4. Make the Peach Cobbler Topping

  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.

  • Add diced peaches, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for about 5 minutes, until peaches soften and release their juices.

  • Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1–2 more minutes, until thickened and syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

5. Make the Crumble Topping

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in cold butter using a fork or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  • Spread on a parchment‑lined baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, until golden and crisp. Let cool completely.

6. Assemble the Donuts

  • Insert the piping tip into the side or bottom of each cooled donut and fill with cheesecake mixture until you feel a slight resistance.

  • Spoon a generous amount of peach topping over each donut.

  • Sprinkle with crumble topping.

  • If using glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, then drizzle over the top.

7. Serve

  • Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.

💡 Tips for Success

  • Yeast freshness – If your yeast mixture doesn't bubble, start over with fresh yeast.

  • Peach texture – Use ripe but not mushy peaches for the best bite.

  • Frying temperature – Keep oil at 350°F; too hot and the outside burns before the inside cooks.

  • Make ahead – Prepare the crumble and peach topping up to 2 days in advance; store separately in the refrigerator.

Enjoy your celebration‑worthy donuts!
